This is a from a source that lives in our neighborhood and writes these memos and forwards them to different people and now to me and I am sharing it with you.

Hi Neighbor, Hope all had a wonderful & Happy Thanksgiving, unfortunately as you will see below Crime does Not take a Holiday:

1. 200 Block of Avila Rd., $4,800.00 worth of clothing , furs & MAC computer were stolen from an UNLOCKED vehicle.
2. 200 Block of Rugby Rd, resident reported a fraud on his debit card.
3. 3000 Block of So. Dixie Hwy. Grand Theft Auto, a 2015 Red Chevy Camaro Ss , valued at $36,000 was stolen from the business parking lot, last seen on 11/24 theft discovered 11/25.
4. 3800 Block of Washington Rd. , Grand Theft Auto, 2013 Hyundi, valued at $20,000 was stolen, it was left UNLOCKED& taken by suspects- 2 Black males, , one in red basketball shorts, red tank top, about 6′. It would be great for all Associations to invite our WPB Police Dept. personnel to address residents at an upcoming Association Meeting & to speak to residents of condos & in residential homes to LOCK up their vehicles, as obviously people are going through the neighborhoods trying doors of vehicles at night & getting lucky & stealing some of the vehicles, it takes just a moment to remove your items from your vehicle(s), lock your vehicle(s) & set your alarm, practice this daily — so you do not become a victim.
5. Most unfortunately one of our WPB Fire Trucks was shot at in the Publix Parking Lot on Southern Blvd. Luckily the fireman inside the truck was not struck, bullet hit the door, Police are looking for suspect(s).

And now for some good news, MARK YOUR CALENDARS—-YOUR BRAND NEW PUBLIX STORE ON BELVEDERE RD. WILL BE OPENING FOR BUSINESS ON SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12, AT 7AM……Enjoy, Lila

Saturday morning 11/28/2015 around 5:00 am an owners car was taken from a slot very near the front door. It was a 2013 Toyota.

Be aware to lock your cars and if they have alarms maybe use them.

The police are investigating and saw our video. Do not know much more than that.

Wed night after the above post update:

Not to go into too many details but the owner of the stolen car came to my apt to tell me that I should not talk about her theft at the building meeting or there would be consequences. I did not discuss this at the building meeting but the whole building is talking about it so why me? Please read the following post on Sunday that comes from someone else on the internet about the theft.
